She Faked Her Death, Then Her Nemesis Came Looking for Her

A villainess heroine and her righteous husband

A money-loving villainess heroine with a fierce will to survive X a righteous, insincere, faux-tsundere hero

Jiang Zheng X Ling Yi

1. Jiang Zheng is the second daughter of the Jiang family. Her elder sister excels at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, while her younger sister is clever and adorable. Jiang Zheng, caught in the middle, is mediocre at everything: she knows a little of this and a little of that. Since her family doesn't care for her, she has learned all sorts of things, but only at a superficial level. Thinking ahead to her future, she lives frugally and spends every day figuring out how to save money.

Money in hand, peace of mind.

But the world refuses to let her have her way. The beautiful and virtuous bride her eldest brother brings home successfully wins the whole family's affection, and the little regard they had left for Jiang Zheng disappears completely. She becomes invisible in her own home.

Jiang Zheng grows jealous and goes mad. She stops holding back and resorts to any means necessary, berating her elder sister and beating her younger brother. Her family despises her, and in the end, the younger brother who still has a little warmth for her betrays her, nearly costing her life.

Her last remaining affection and hopes for the Jiang family are exhausted. Fate turns, giving her no chance to lose hope. After an accident, she meets an old man selling fake death pills. She decides to change her uncertain future and give herself another chance at life. She spends most of her savings to fake her death and escape, and even manages to disgust her nemesis one last time.

"You..." Ling Yi's usually cold, merciless face flushes. "...Kiss me."

Disgusting you is the point.

Jiang Zheng spits out a large mouthful of tomato juice and raises a hand to touch his face. "Pfft... Actually, I've always... liked you..."

After saying that, she closes her eyes.

No matter how Ling Yi calls to her, she doesn't open them, so naturally she doesn't see the deep anguish in his eyes.

2. In his youth, Ling Yi followed his father into the army to fight the enemy. He did it neither for glory nor for the prospect of high office. He only wanted to be able to protect the person he had always longed for when he returned to the capital. But...

...He never imagined that, just days after returning, while he was still dreaming of a happy future, he would see Jiang Zheng once again, engulfed in blazing flames, beyond his power to save. Jiang Zheng touched his face and said, "I... like... you."

He clung to those words that had moved his heart, left with nothing but an empty body. Since the Jiang family still existed and the imperial authority was involved, he couldn't die. He lived in agony for three years, thinking every moment of joining Jiang Zheng in death. So when an old man came to the army camp and told him Jiang Zheng was still alive, his first thought wasn't joy or excitement. His whole body filled with hatred.

He would bring Jiang Zheng back and bite her to pieces.

Three years later, Jiang Zheng is basking in the sun and drinking mulberry juice when an old man asking for directions approaches her. "Excuse me, do you know where I can buy tomatoes?"

Without opening her eyes, Jiang Zheng says, "I'm a farmer, not a merchant."

"Really? Then why do I remember you selling tomato-flavored blood here three years ago?"

"Huh?" Jiang Zheng tumbles off her wooden chair. The straw hat covering her head falls to the ground. She lowers her head, trembling all over. "Y-you've got the wrong person."

"Really? I never said who I was looking for." Ling Yi grips her chin. "Jiang Zheng, you've been dead for three years. Won't you invite me in?"

Both are pure-hearted + possessive love + the hero pursues the heroine after mistreating her + faked death + marriage before love

Content warnings:

The current portrayals of the man and woman reflect how they are seen by the world.

The heroine does as she pleases. Before getting together with the hero, she doesn't want to be constrained, and she has her own principles. She will never let herself be wronged.

My next book is "Robot, You Seem a Little Off! [Nonhuman]". Please add it to your favorites!

1

When Meng Ge was five, her mother gave her a robot. Its beautiful pink eyes were Meng Ge's favorite color.

"This robot belongs only to our little Ge. It's a gift from Mom to you. It belongs only to you and will only listen to you." Her mother took her hand and held the robot's finger, which had no warmth, smiling brightly. "Give the robot a name."

"Won't it even listen to Mom?"

"It only listens to you, little Ge. You're its master."

Meng Ge looked up at the robot's emotionless eyes, her heart pounding fiercely. "...Cherry."

From that day on, Meng Ge had Cherry, a robot who belonged to her alone and would always belong to her alone.

2

Meng Ge had a friend who had been closer to her than anyone else from childhood onward: her Cherry. She told Cherry all her worries, without hiding anything.

After starting university, she had her first crush. As usual, she lay cozily in Cherry's arms and asked what she should do. "Cherry, I think I like him. What do you think I should do?"

"Lu Yu?"

Meng Ge blushed and quickly jumped into Cherry's arms. "Cherry, you're so clever. How did you know his name? So, what should I do?"

Cherry turned and put an arm around her waist, looking into her eyes as the corners of Cherry's lips curved slightly. "I know. Leave it to me."

Meng Ge squealed and hugged Cherry back excitedly. "Thank you, Cherry. I love you so much."

"Mm. Love... me."

1. A sweet story with a touch of mystery. (But don't get your hopes up too high. The author isn't very good at writing mysteries.)

2. The futuristic setting might be hard to understand. Feel free to ask in the comments whenever you like!

3. The hero is a robot. When her mother first gives him to the heroine, the robot has no gender. You'll have to read the story to find out how he develops one, so please come and read!

4. Don't assume the hero has good intentions.

Theme: I only wish for my own life to keep getting better.
